[TowerTalk] Crank-up info please...

This is interesting in that when I decided to buy the Glen Martin Eng
tower I saw that AES had it in their cat. But I coundn't see why I should
buy it from them since Glen Martin had the same price and AES states it
will be drop shipped from Glen Martin. I ordered from Glen Martin put it
on my credit card and the tower arrived 10days later. I don't understand
why AES would even carry these kind of items and why anybody would buy
through them. Maybe someone else has some insite I don't see.

Ed,
I recieved my US Tower model HDX-589MDP yesterday. 89 foot and
motorized,
It is very well built (I was a certified welder for 7 years). I ordered
from US because of price and they promised a delivery date of 4 months,
altho Tri-ex was $2000.00 more for there 86 footer, they promised
delievery
in 2 months. US Tower took 6 months to deliever! I got nothing but LIES
from US Towers! Finally while talking to Bruce from US Towers, I
mentioned
to him this wouldnt look real good if i was to post this via the
internet,
and when he saw i was fit to be tied, and ready to cancel the order did
he
deliever!!!! He knew He had me by the b**** because the base was sitting
in the ground for four months. The base is another story, It took two
months to get here,they promised it in 30 days....If I had to do it over
again I might buy a Tri-ex. I would not have ordered it through AES, I
would have greased Bruce palm, payed him CASH, He doesnt recieve any
money
from AES till he delievers...So who do you think gets there towers first?
The guy that pays CASH! I own three companies, I would be out of biz if I
ran my companies like this....Anyways you wanted some feed back, thats my
2
cents.....The good news is I should be tearing down my fence tomorrow to
get the tower in the back yard and should have my first antenna (FORCE
3el
on 7 mhz, who i had no problems with in ordering and delievery) up by the
end of the week at 110 foot! And then work down from there :) Thats the
best i can do on my city lot!
